Sidemount plates

Ok,
Just bought the HEARTLAND E-Z 200 kit for my bike..
Question to anybody in the UK..
Do you have a sidemount plate for your bike and if so have you had trouble with the hard working police who sit in their cars all day eating pies..
Am i more likely to get pulled up with a vertical [plate) than a horozontal (plate) ?
Any recommendations for a specific make off bracket.
Anyone else had any probs anywhere else in the world any advice....

Glad to see you found a dealer. I guess you never got a seat answer? I know most go with a horizontal plate just so they dont get jacked with. I have been pulled over cause the cop was on the other side of my bike and didnt see it. When he was talking to me I said its on the other side and he said well thats too hard to see. Ok Im a cop and I said so I have to have one it dosnt say where. Any way pics when you get some. Check ebay they have some cool plates cheap.

My dear friend
I am from Cyprus, so I took my 2007 fatboy on a trip around europe with a kuryakyn side mount (lighted Plate) I got a lot of trouble for it. The law states that the plates must be visible and at lest 15' x 10' (in the UK 20 x 30)

Michal..
Thought that might be the case..yet i do see these side plates on bikes in the dealers parking area, so they must get away with it plus there is our M.O.T to be dealt with.hope im lucky here..
&nbsp\\;
WTF..Heartland have never bothered to respond to my question which i found disappointing but by pure luck i found a dealer who will awnser your questions, his web-site is a bit hard to find but GOOGLE&nbsp\\; (heartland softail standard e-z 200 conversion) and it will bring up a site that in my opinion is better than heartlands anyway ...and they are knocking 10% off stuff at moment.
&nbsp\\;
Ps the seat on your bike WONT fit.....so im told.

Found the site. Thanks 10% helps a little but I guess its worth it. I bought a WCC fender off of ebay Ill cut and see how that works till I can afford the heartland kit.
